"They Knew" a mosaic in mixed media by Lorraine Oerth

Created from broken shards, glass beads, pearls, mirror, collage glued on clear glass and glass nuggets and more - this is a piece about war. It is an anti-war piece condeming war and how it ruins lives. It is a statement about the Bush administration entering into war against Iraq - and contains glued pieces from a Time Magazine article to record the statements of the day - and the sentiments of the popular media. The artist is not saying that the war was wrong or unjustified - rather that war is hell, pure and simple.

This piece is was installed on board, approx 13 x 20 inches, and roughly framed with thin wood.
